Call for Mail Art: Weird (existing) Animals!
Platypus, Tapir, Okapi, Echidna, Mole, Axolotl are some of my favourite animals. They have in common that they exist irl and that they are uncommon.
Which animal do you think odd?
Send your image of an unusual (existing, no fantasy) animal.
All media are welcomed, preferable postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms).
No jury, no fee, no return.
All weird existing animals will be published in this ongoing virtual exhibition.

Mart1

Two animals were sent from Belgium by Mart1. The Tapir, one of my favorite weird animals, you see below. And above you see the Blobfish!Even if the fish him/herself wouldn't have been weird, he/she would be weird because of the name! Just have a try: say 'blobfish' to yourself 14 times while looking in the mirror with a serious face and try not to laugh!..

Though - the Blobfish indeed is weird! Living in deep sea (600 to 1200 meters, near Australia) a gas bladder, which fish usually have, wouldn't work. Instead of that, the Blobfish' flesh is a jelly-like mass. He doesn't need much muscles, as he just eats what comes close. Blob!

Blobfish and Tapir are accompanied by an interesting collaged envelop. When you take a close look at the backside, you can notice some butterflies, too!
